General Strategy

One of two healing-based pipes (with Frodo's Pipe), Aragorn's Pipe is a common addition to the traditional "Pipeweed" strategy. With Gandalf's Pipe, The Gaffer's Pipe, Gimli's Pipe and Bilbo's Pipe, support area possessions Old Toby and Longbottom Leaf can be used to heal, remove burdens, remove twilight and cycle tales back into your draw deck. Commonly run with Frodo signets to take advantage of Frodo's Pipe, Pipeweed decks are potentially susceptible to multi-cultural hate, such as Grima, Chief Counselor, Orc Insurgent or One Of You Must Do This. That said, Aragorn's Pipe is bearable by any Gondor companion, so Faramir, Son of Denethor is another common character to bear the possession.

Strengths and Weaknesses
